  • Self-consistent mathematical model of the exotic object OTJ 071126+440405= CSS 081231:071126+440405 is discussed. The system was discovered as a polar at the New year night 31.12.2008/01.01.2009 by D.Denisenko (VSNET Circ), and we have initiated an international campaign of photometric and polarimetric observations of this object (totally -80 runs in Ukraine, Korea, Slovakia, Finland, USA) as a part of the "Inter-Longitude Astronomy" (ILA) project on monitoring of variable stars of different classes (Andronov et al., 2003). Here we present the geometrical and physical model of the system in the low luminosity state and in the intermediate luminosity state as well as in the high luminosity state. As the system is of -20 mag at minimum, no spectral observations were made to determine parameters of the red dwarf. From the statistical relationship, the mass of the red dwarf is estimated to be -0.165 solar masses, for the white dwarf (from eclipse duration) - from 0.5 to 1.76 solar masses. As the system resembles ER UMa in some characteristics, the lower value may be assumed. The inclination of the system and other physical parameters are estimated. The object is an excellent laboratory to study multiple physical processes in the magnetic systems.

  • The DEEP-South photometric census of small Solar System bodies is producing massive time-series data of variable, transient or moving objects as a by-product. To fully investigate unexplored variable phenomena, we present an application of multi-aperture photometry and FastBit indexing techniques to a portion of the DEEP-South year-one data. Our new pipeline is designed to do automated point source detection, robust high-precision photometry and calibration of non-crowded fields overlapped with area previously surveyed. We also adopt an efficient data indexing algorithm for faster access to the DEEP-South database. In this paper, we show some application examples of catalog-based variability searches to find new variable stars and to recover targeted asteroids. We discovered 21 new periodic variables including two eclipsing binary systems and one white dwarf/M dwarf pair candidate. We also successfully recovered astrometry and photometry of two near-earth asteroids, 2006 DZ169 and 1996 SK, along with the updated properties of their rotational signals (e.g., period and amplitude).

  • 의약용 Capsuel에 넣은 입제형 살충제 BPMC, Carbofuran, Cartap, Chlorphenamidine-HCl, Cytrolane, Diazinon의 단일회 수도근부처리로서 수도 전생육기간에 걸친 이화멸충, 멸구, 매미충류 및 Virus 병의 방제효과를 검정하기 위해 포장시험을 실시하여 아래와 같은 결과를 얻었다. (1) 이화명충은 발생이 적었기 때문에 약제간에 큰 차이는 볼 수 없었지만 약제처리후 50일에서 이화명충 1화기 심고경율 Cartap 0, Carbofuran 0.1, Chlorphenamidine 0.4, Cytrolane 0.5, BPMC 1.8, Diazinon 2.2이었으며 2화기 백수율은 BPMC에서 $1.2\%$이었을 뿐 그밖에 약제처리구에서는 백수가 없었다. (2) 끝동매미충과 애멸구에 대해서는 BPMC와 Diazinon 처리구에서 비교적 낮은 밀도를 보였다. 벼멸구에 대해서는 BPMC와 Carbofuran에서 서식밀도가 현저히 낮아 그 방제효과가 좋았으나 Cartap, Chlorphenamidine, Cytrolane 및 Diazinon의 효과는 거의 기대할 수 없었다. (3) 오갈병의 발병주율은 Carbofuran이 $2.4\%$, Cytrolane $4.5\%$, Chlorphenamidine $7.9\%$, Diazinon $8.0\%$ BPMC$8.1\%$, Cartap $14.5\%$, Diazinon 입제수면 시용 $7.8\%$, 무처리 $13.1\%$로서 Carbofuran 처리구에서 오갈병의 발병율이 가장 낮았다. 줄무늬잎마름병의 발생은 전혀 없었는데 그 원인은 통일벼는 줄무늬잎마름병에 저항성품종이기 때문인 것 같다. (4) 벼의 수량은 무처리 5,814kg/ha에 비하여 Carbofuran 6,649kg, Cytrolane 6,340kg, BPMC 6,315kg, Chlorphenamidine 6,265kg, Cartap 6,164kg, Diazinon 5,944kg, Diazinon 입제 수면시용 6,102kg로서 Carbofuran 처리구에서 벼의 수량이 가장 높았다. (5) Carbofuran 처리구에서 높은 수량을 보인 것은 Carbofuran 처리구에서 멸구, 매미충류의 밀도가 낮았고 오갈병의 발병율이 낮은데서 온 결과인 것 같다.

  • In the best observed Pleiades cluster, the luminosity function(LF) and mass function(MF) for main sequence(MS) stars extended to $Mv{\approx}15.5(V{\approx}21)$ are very similar to the initial luminosity function(ILF) and initial mass function(IMF) for field stars in the solar neighborhood showing a bump at log $m{\simeq}-0.05$ and a dip at log $m{\simeq}-0.12$. This dip is equivalent to the Wielen dip appearing in the LF for the field stars. The occurence of these bump and dip is independent of adopted mass-luminosity relation(MLR) . and their characteristics could be explained by a time-dependent bimodal IMF. The model with this IMF gives a total cluster mass of $\~700M_\bigodot,\;\~25$ brown dwarfs and $\~3$ white dwarfs if the upper mass limit of progenitor of white dwarf is greater than $4.5M_\bigodot$. The cluster age on the basis of LF for brightest stars is given by $\~8\times10^7yr$ and all stars in the cluster lie along the single age sequence in the C-M diagram without showing a large dispersion from the sequence.

  • Cores of globular clusters are an ideal place for close encounters between stars. The outcome of tidal capture can be stellar mergers, close binaries between normal stars (W UMa type), cataclysmic variables composed of white dwarf and normal star pairs, or low-mass X-ray binaries consisting of a neutron star and a normal star pairs. Stellar mergers can be the origin of blue stragglers in dense globular clusters although they are hard to observe. Low mass X-ray binaries would eventually become binary pulsars with short pulse periods after the neutron stars accrete sufficient amount of matter from the companion. However, large number of recently discovered, isolated millisecond pulsars (as opposed to binary pulsars) in globular clusters may imply that they do not have to gain angular speeds during the X-ray binary phase. We propose that these isolated millisecond pulsars may have formed through the disruptive encounters, which lead to the formation of accretion disk without Roche lobe filling companion, between a neutron star and a main-sequence star. Based on recently developed multicomponent models for the dynamical evolution of globular clusters, we compute the expected numbers of various systems formed by tidal capture as a function of time.

  • Planetary nebulae (PN) are the last stages of evolution of intermediate mass (1-8 Msolar) stars. Their shapes are thought to result from interactions between the present-day, fast (emerging white dwarf) and previously ejected, slow (red giant) stellar winds. The observation of young, bright PN, NGC7027 and BD+30 3639, was made on July 7, 2014 using the 2.7m Harlan J. Smith telescope at the McDonald Observatory. IGRINS with high spatial (0.27") and high spectral ($7.5km\;s^{-1}$) resolution will provide more nebular lines and excitation/abundances to constrain the morphology and kinematics of the Nebula and the PDRs. Combined with other archival data (X-ray, 2MASS, WISE, Spitzer, Herschel) for PN, high-resolution IR spectroscopy will yield insight into poorly understood aspects of PN morphologies and the late stages of binary star evolution.

  • One ingredient in an empirical birthrate estimate for pulsar binaries is the fraction of sky subtended by the pulsar beam: the pulsar beaming fraction. This fraction depends on both the pulsar's beam geometry defined by the pulsar's opening angle and the misalignment angle between its spin and magnetic axes. The current estimates for pulsar binary birthrates are based on an average value of beaming fractions for only two pulsars, i.e., PSRs B1913+16 and B1534+12. In this work, we revisit the observed pulsar binaries to examine the sensitivity of birthrate predictions to different assumptions regarding the pulsar beam geometry. The results show that, for those pulsars without any direct beam geometry constraints, the estimated beaming correction factor is likely to be smaller than six, a canonically adopted value when calculating birthrates of Galactic pulsar binaries. The median birthrate estimates for pulsar-white dwarf and pulsar-neutron star binaries in the Galactic disk, based on the best observational constraints, are 34 per Myr and 89 per Myr, respectively.

  • Although the identification of the progenitors of type Ia supernovae (SNeIa) remains controversial, it is generally accepted that they originate from binary star systems in which at least one component is a carbon-oxygen white dwarf (WD); those systems are grouped under the wide umbrella of cataclysmic variables. Current theories for SNeIa progenitors hold that, either via Roche lobe overflow of the companion or via a wind, the WD accumulates hydrogen or helium rich material which is then burned to C and O onto the WD's surface. However, the specifics of this scenario are far from being understood or defined, allowing for a wealth of theories fighting for attention and a dearth of observations to support them. I discuss the latest attempts to identify and study those controversial SNeIa progenitors. I also introduce the most promising progenitor in hand and I present observational diagnostics that can reveal more members of the category.

  • Recent discovery of $2M_{\odot}$ neutron stars in white dwarf-neutron star binaries, PSR J1614-2230 and PSR J0348+0432, has given strong constraints on the maximum mass of neutron stars. On the other hand, all well-measured neutron star masses in double neutron star binaries are still less than $1.5M_{\odot}$. These observations suggest that the neutron star masses in binaries may depend on the evolution process of neutron star binaries. In addition, recent works on LMXB (low-mass X-ray binaries) provides us the possibility of estimating the masses and radii of accreting neutron stars in LMXBs. In this talk, we discuss the implications of recent neutron star observations to the neutron star equation of states and the related astrophysical problems. For the evolution of neutron star binaries, we also discuss the possibilities of super-Eddington accretion onto the primary neutron stars.

We also recover astrometry (< ${\pm}1-2$ arcsec level accuracy) and photometry of two targeted near-earth asteroids, 2006 DZ169 and 1996 SK, along with the small- (~0.12 mag) and relatively large-amplitude (~0.5 mag) variations of their dominant rotational signals in R-band.
